Adventures with Dr. Lady Cutie Troublemaker

Life is in flux BIG TIME these days. I want to keep in touch with all of my peeps. The Internet is this beautiful thing. I can move to a brand new city and still stay in easy, near-daily contact with the people I love. When I feel connected to the people in my life that matter, I am unstoppable!

Surgery In the Morning

By Abby at 3:36 pm on Wednesday, April 16, 2008

OMG. I shouldn’t have hunted around on Flickr. I was actually looking for one of my own pictures and came across this:

There’s a whole slideshow of this person’s experience, too.

It’s a person’s wrist AFTER the cyst surgery and the cast was taken off. OMG. Yikes! I hope people don’t think I tried to off myself. That can’t be good for business!

Here’s mine on the MRI:
Gonna Get This Sucker Taken Out Soon

Suddenly, I don’t feel so good!

Atlanta Tornadoes on Flickr

By Abby at 12:34 am on Monday, March 17, 2008

I’ve done a search for you on Flickr to share with you the damage that was sustained during these tornadoes in downtown Atlanta. It’s really pretty mindblowing. This is something that just doesn’t happen in downtown Atlanta – at least it wasn’t supposed to.

Take a look: S L I D E S H O W

If you see any picture where you’d like more information, double click on the center of it, and you will see a description and a link to the picture page. There is some repetition in the pictures for two reasons. First, many people have uploaded pictures from media sources (the same picture uploaded many times). Second, there are many pictures of the same scene that are very similar to one another. Notice that you can speed up the rate pictures are shown to you at the bottom of the page.

This is a stunning set of images. I love that Flickr can do this for me: let me see what I couldn’t see from my home here in Raleigh.

Trying Out Animoto

By Abby at 4:50 pm on Saturday, March 15, 2008

Neat! I tried out the 30 second version of Animoto, which is a new site that automatically puts together little videos for you, using the music of your choice. I’m definitely going to do some more of these. Neat!

WDYDWYD?

By Abby at 2:34 pm on Monday, March 10, 2008

I’ve been meaning to blog about this for a while, but this is definitely the day. As many of you know, the student body president at UNC was killed earlier this week. Two days before she died, she participated in Tony Diefel’s most recent photography project. He is the guy who did that Seeing Beyond Sight challenge that I loved so much last year at Explosure. His new project asks people to write why they do what they do on their hand and take a portrait. Here is Eve Carson’s:

Tony is very passionate about what he does. I highly recommend that you participate in the project. Here’s the basic idea:

WDYDWYD is a worldwide community-art project to answer the simple question “why do you do what you do?” by combining an image and text in a creative way.

I hope he gets a Flickr group started soon. He’ll get more responses than he knows what to do with! Think I’ll email him about that right this moment!

Now sub to his blog feed: Link
